HOW 1T EFFECTS RIVERS.

Think Of IL

What Prominent Steamboatmen
Think of il.
ALI up and down the river there is a
feeling among river men that there is a
brighter prospect than there has been be-
fore in years for a paying season-one
similar to those of yore, when fabulous
sums were cleared By river steamers.
Upon this subject and the prospects for
the seasons business, Commodore David
son, of the St. Paul and ST. Louis packet
company, says:
1T is little to early in the season to
make any predictions. One thing is GER
tain, and that is that the railroad com
panies won't let the steamboats, carry any
freight that they can possibly secure for
themselves. We can't tel how the inter
state commerce law will affect our bust,
ness, and, as it may not last long, it
would not pay to 60 to any extra ex>
pense to prepare for an increased busis
ness that we might not get. i don't ex-
peot to run any more boats this season
tn an last. but do expect to carry little
more freight"
l. N. Scott, Commodore Dayidson's
representative In business of the packet
company, said:
Il don't know how many boats will
be put on the ST. Paul and st. Louis
trade this season; but you may depend
upon it that we will have all the boats
that the business will Justify. The
steamers St. Paul. War Eagle. Centen-
NAL and White Eagle will ply regularly
between st. Paul and St Louis, and the
Gem City between ST. Louis and KrO>
kuk This will give two boats of our
line in and out of Rock Island each week
during the season of navigation look
| for better river business than for many
years,
"The inter state law ought to stIifen
up rates. and give us all the business we
can handle. As understand it, the ne "
law does not apply to our rates, as VT
have no direct railroad connections, al
| though we issue through tickets cons
Meeting with lines of railroad up ana
down the river Routes like the one be
tween Fall River and Boston where all
the freight of the line goes from Boston
to Fall River by rail, would come under
the provisions of the law.
| I'VE have not determined upon ou
schedule to traffic rates for the season
but presume they will not vary mater,
tally from the rates of last season. Witt
US everything of course depends upon tn,
stage of the water l don't think th,
government reservoirs affect the stage o
navigation much. if any. Above Min,
neapolis the reservoirs affect the stage o
water so that lumbermen are enabled L
get their logs down stream, but below
the falls of st Anthony the effect of The
dams is hardly appreciable. II the gov
eminent would use the appropriations tc
confine the water TO its proper channels
| there would be no trouble"
Alex. c. Long, northwestern agent TO
the Diamond 10 line of steamers, saiC
that it would be two or three weeks be
fore plans would be formulated for tn,
business Of the present season. HI
thought business would be unusually
good, however, and that his line woulC
increase the number of boats plying be-
tween st. Paul and down>river points.
